This projects asks what counts as responsible state conduct in relation to the possession of nuclear weapons. The rationale for this focus is the growing disjuncture in the contemporary global nuclear order between the nuclear possessor states on the one hand and the vast majority of non-nuclear states on the other.The above research questions will be addressed using qualitative document analysis and semi-structured interviews. With regard to the former, the project will code manually using NVivo for each case the key primary source documents in English (e.g. UN documents, speeches, and official statements in NPT and other fora) to excavate understandings of nuclear responsibility and restraint. In addition, the background assumptions and beliefs of key officials and decision-makers will be probed using semi-structured interviews that are aimed at elucidating the nuclear practices of the three states that form the empirical part of the project. It is envisaged that the project will involve 20 to 30 interviews conducted in English and will involve telephone/skype as well as face-to-face. Access will be facilitated through the networks of the supervisors and the collaborating organization.

这一项目提出的问题是，在拥有核武器方面，什么才算负责任的国家行为。这一重点的理由是，在当代全球核秩序之间的核拥有国的一方和绝大多数无核国家的另一方日益脱节。上述研究问题将使用定性文件分析和半结构化访谈来解决。对于前者，该项目将使用NVivo对每种情况下的主要英文源文件（例如联合国文件、演讲和《不扩散核武器条约》及其他论坛上的正式声明）进行人工编码，以挖掘对核责任和核克制的理解。此外，主要官员和决策者的背景假设和信念将使用半结构化访谈进行探讨，旨在阐明构成该项目经验部分的三个国家的核实践。预计该项目将涉及20至30次英语访谈，包括电话/skype和面对面访谈。将通过主管人员和协作组织的网络为查阅提供便利。
